On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would
like to make a briefing as follows:

As
you all know, the Vietnamese people across the country have recently manifested
their patriotism and opposition to China’s illegal deployment of oil rig HD-981
in the Vietnamese waters. Taking advantage of the situation, some people with
ill intention in localities such as Dong Nai, Binh Duong and Ha Tinh provinces have
conducted extreme actions which violated the Vietnamese law such as smashing
buildings, factories, workshops and equipments, including production facilities
of foreign investors, threatening the safety of life and property of foreign individuals
and enterprises, as well as acting against on-duty officials. The incident was
very serious, adversely affecting production and business activities of enterprises,
the people’s daily life and public order, the image and investment climate of
Viet Nam.
